One woman’s devotion to transform her garden into a flower-lover’s paradise saw her scoop first prize for the second year running in the annual Contour Homes’ Lower Broughton gardening competition.
Ann Law, 55 and from Duke Street was delighted and surprised to win for a second year: “I love gardening and it gives me a real pleasure to be able to create a colourful oasis on my doorstep. I spend a few hours every day outside planting flowers so that there are always new varieties coming up throughout the seasons.”
The Mayor of Salford, Cllr George Wilson, presented the winning trophy to Ann along with £200 high street vouchers. Gardens were judged by the Mayor who gave marks for best use of space, attractions for wildlife, use of recycled materials and range of foliage.
The Mayor said: "We would like to congratulate all of the Broughton residents who took part in the competition. They have taken great pride in tending to their gardens showing fantastic skill and creativity, their efforts really help to brighten up the community. Well done particularly to Ann for winning a second time.”
Runners up were Val Broadbent of Duke Street and Heather Jolly from Camp Street
